The rantings of a knitter on the edge!

My KTC’s Project……nearly verbatem

Here is a nearly verbatem version of my submission to my Knit The Classics group for my project for last month’s reading selection, “Gulliver’s Travels”, by Johnathan Swift. (For more details on KTC’s, check them out by using the link in my sidebar.

“Gulliver’s Travels” was nothing short of Mr. Swift’s satirical opinions of currant politicians and the politics of that time. He ment for the story to “stick in the craw” of those of the times, and not for it to become a clasic litterary tale that it has become.

That being the aspect that inspired my KTC’s project. I choose to submit a project also inspired by my personal opinions of current politicians and currant nasty campaign adds concerning the upcoming elections here in the US.

While I will be making the second sock, I am submitted only this single sock as my project. The red to represent both blood and passion. The cable pattern to represent the twisted and conveluted statements in the adds. Sock because it represents the care we need to take in choosing which step we take into the future.

This month’s reading selection is “Frankenstein”, by Mary Shelley. I have a project in mind, but who knows if it will stand up to the inspiration that comes from reading this book again. Only reading will tell.
